Orion chewed his nails nervously, his wife was in the other room, giving birth. She was already really sick, so Orion was worried. What if Walburga didn't live?
Orion shook his head, he couldn't think like that, not when Walburga and himself had to be there for their child. Finally, there was a scream in the delivery room. Orion turned white and he raced into the room, slightly panting.
Walburga whispered hoarsely, "Orion, you finally got your wish" Orion looked at her, confused at the words, his confusion must have shone because Walburga smirked and gestured over to the child. Orion's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline and gasped. No wonder the pregnancy had taken so long.
Two children were in their cots. One of them had a turf of Black hair and Light Grey eyes, the exact copy of Walburga. Orion then looked at the other child.
Phineas Nigellus Black looked at the children and yawned, the older one was boring, with normal Black hair and grey eyes. But the younger one had a spark, a spark Phineas hadn't seen since Orion was born. Of course, this was Orion's child they were talking about.
The girl looked up at him and Phineas gasped, she was the duplicate of Orion. Same Dark Brown hair, Same eyes. They were just a shade darker than everyone else's. She was, in all words, adorable.
Orion gasped as he looked at his youngest daughter. It was dream come true, he finally had a child that looked exactly like him, with this luck, the child will probably have his personality. The child turned around a little in her sleep and she yawned, Orion slightly melted, the girl, was practically saying with a smirk on her face, 'I know I'm adorable, deal with it '. Orion sighed and went over to his wife, he didn't know what their names were and would like to know, considering they were his children.
Walburga looked at him and smiled. "That one, the one with Black hair that is, is named Arietta. Cassiopeia for her middle name and Cygnus for the second middle name, and, of course, Black for her surname." Orion looked at her and repeated with a soft smile on his face,
"Arietta Cassiopeia Cygnus Black, it suits her." Walburga nodded and continued,
" I haven't picked a name for the other child, mind you, I thought since she was your duplicate you would want to name her" Orion grinned and thought about it. He went towards the unnamed girl and fluffed up her hair.
"Aquarius" He whispered, "Aquarius Bellatrix Arcturus, for my favourite niece, for my father, and for her." Walburga raised her eyebrow in a questioning matter and she repeated,
"For her?" Orion nodded slowly and said, "She beautiful, so innocent, I'm just trying to make sure the future stays the same." Walburga looked away, tears filling up her eyes, she had never seen Orion look this happy. The last time she had seen a smile like that on his face was when Orion had graduated along with his two best friends, Tom Riddle and Minerva McGonagall.
Their first child, Sirius, was not what they expected. Instead of having Orion's dashing looks, he had inherited the Light Grey Eyes of Walburga and the Black hair with white streaks. Regulus had Dark brown hair like Aquarius but had Light Grey Eyes as well. The White streaks in his hair were there, but they didn't stand out as Sirius' did.
Walburga then stopped and stared. What did Orion mean by the future? Orion looked at her and said with contained pride, "Remember that girl who looked a lot like me? We accidentally travelled to 2024 with the Crew. She looked a lot like me and her name was Aquarius. I think that girl was our child, it just fits, perfectly" Walburga stood up carefully and smiled down at their child. She linked her arm with her husband's and she sighed. Orion was right, he always was.
She crept forward and kissed the top of Aquarius' head. She laughed as Aquarius grabbed her finger and held on to it.
She was just like her father.
